All of these members have military experience—and are rightfully alarmed that the Admin is directing people to commit violence against Americans.
 
Those who serve our country swore an oath to the Constitution, *not* Trump.
 
If pointing that out is "treason," what else is he willing to criminalize?

And if you've previously picked a side, you don't have to stay there. Whatever you may have thought Trump was, he's proven his unfit. Let's be pro-democracy now. We can go back to party politics when we get through this.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

From the Berkshires to the Cape and everywhere in between, there are people in need — and people ready to help.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they don’t have to.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Does anyone have a calculator that would tell people what their premiums would be without the subsidies? I have seen examples of the huge increases, but I think it would be very effective for people to be able to put in their plan to find out what their own cost would be.

This.
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
